Latto’s “Brokey” Challenge sparked unexpected outcomes when a participant, Yadira Ramirez, lost her job after joining the viral trend.
Latto recently shared Instagram photos with Yadira Ramirez, a former Waffle House employee. These images hint at a possible collaboration, with both posing playfully with waffles. Some fans speculate these could be from an upcoming music video.
Ramirez’s journey became a rollercoaster after her TikTok video, set to Latto’s “Brokey,” led to her firing. Despite a six-year tenure, she was placed on the ‘unable to rehire’ list. However, her story caught Latto’s attention, prompting the rapper to fly her out and gift her $10,000.
Critics of “Brokey” accused the song of mocking hard-working individuals. Responding to the backlash, Latto launched the challenge with a remarkable offer: $10,000 for the best video at work. Ramirez’s contribution was clearly impactful, leading to her newfound friendship with the artist.

The duo’s interaction might signal the release of a full-on music video for “Brokey,” currently only available as a lyric video from Latto’s album “Sugar Honey Iced Tea.” This album also features collaborations with popular artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Young Nudy.
Latto’s approach and her engagement with fans reflect her musical inspirations, drawing from artists like Mariah Carey and Beyoncé. Emphasizing femininity with confidence, Latto expresses pride in her work, stating she isn’t chasing achievements but creating music true to herself.
This surprising twist in Ramirez’s life story and her connection with Latto highlights the unpredictable nature of viral challenges and the impact of empathy in the music industry.
